About Shaiuana

Shaiuana Okoro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who blends evidence-based therapies with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem, and issues related to LGBT identity.

With five years of clinical experience, she aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. Shaiuana offers support for additional concerns including abandonment, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and somatization.

She also lists ADHD among her areas of focus without implying specialized certification. Clients can expect collaborative, strengths-focused care that emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional insight.

Shaiuana encourages those ready to make a change to take the first step, and she partners with each person to set goals and develop strategies for more fulfilling daily life.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills; it often helps with mood disorders, anxiety, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, which supports work on stress, anger, and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and may blend elements from different modalities to find what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow appointments to fit into busy schedules and provide ongoing support between sessions, making it easier to practice new skills in everyday life.
